Multiple discussion points.
Our play group is discussing the yildun stats. obviously you already pointed out the x2 fleet speed request that appears to have been ignored in favor of the x6.
We have been discussing old universes vs the new ones. and how if there are going to be future merges that bring uni's together, the overall value of the economy of those universes should be normalized. i.e. all x7 if x7 is the new norm. or whatever. as long as there is balance.

still in favor of a subscription universe that removes all accelerants in favor of a montly subscription. completed balanced play for those that still believe in such a concept these days.

Hello Queen,
Are the game admins seriously going to let Graveyard (RIP) in Wezn get into such a controlling position and let them kill another universe before it's even had a chance to start?
I'll bet you $1 this will be how this universe dies... at the controlling hands of Graveyard.....9 months to a year...

It's not a person but the alliance.
I have a friend who thought a new universe was a place to start playing but took one look at Graveyard already being twice the points of the next alliance and said why bother.
I'm now looking at it the same way. It looks like the same players come into a universe, don't care if they kill it or not and wait for a new one like that's how they get off.
Then admin misses out on any money these ppl might spend short term.
This is a good game but if the same ppl do the same thing over and over ppl walk away and won't come back...

Hi Queen Leo, I emailed a photo for the Ogame Pets competition on 29-Sep at 01:00:54 GMT, I haven't received any reply to my email (and a friend of mine who sent his afterwards has) ... I got no messages to say it bounced from my end ? can you help ?

Maybe submit exactly the same picture again, using your OGame email again, with a note in the email that you submitted it on 29/9/18, but didn't get a confirmation that it was received, so you're resending it. Did you check spam/clutter/junk folders for the confirmation?
